Rated 5 starsa cure against the rat race ??
In particular interesting book for people who work 60h+ per week and have no fun. Or people feeling in a mid life crysis. A gem of a book. Some highlights; o our obsession with dieting (enjoy food, dress well...feel well) o the mad race about being number one (yes, there are alternatives) o review on your deadbed (can be a wake up call for some) Well written and always with 'littel slap on the head' remarks like; if i want...

Rated 5 starsOne of the best books I've read

Rated 5 starsBut this book!
Every once and awhile a charming little book comes along that leaves you refreshed, and maybe a bit giddy. This is such a book, it is one of the best and least expensive vacations I have ever taken.
